Happy Birthday Cupcake!

Is any birthday complete without a cake or cupcake? I think not. And even if you don’t get a real cake or cupcake, a card with a cupcake is a great substitution and certainly less fattening!

Here’s a card we made in Stamper’s Club last week. It was fun to make the frame using the Squares Collection Framelits. Of course, we were sure we would have the square for the cupcake exactly where we wanted it by using the Magnetic Platform. I can’t live without that platform now!

When I was designing this card, I realized I hadn’t used much of my Natural Composition Speciality Paper. I’m glad I pulled it out for this card. I think it adds just the right masculine touch. The square in the middle where the cupcake is stamped is the flip side of the paper so that there was a smooth side for stamping. We cut that out with the Framelits as well. The candle was made with red Glimmer paper and the flame was the tiniest bit of Champagne glimmer paper. Using the Cupcake Builder punch made that part easy. Early Espresso Heat Emboss Powder and White Heat Emboss Powder were used for the cupcake and the sentiment. All the stamps were from the Create a Cupcake stamp set. Isn’t this set just too cute?
